Knowing the Global Entry Application Process

  1. Submit Your Application

    The first step to obtaining Global Entry is to submit an online application through the Trusted Traveler Programs (TTP) website. Ensure you provide accurate information and complete all required fields. The application includes personal information, passport details, employment history, and travel history.

  2. Await Conditional Approval

    After submitting your application, CBP will review it to determine your eligibility for Global Entry. If your application is conditionally approved, you'll receive a notification via your TTP account. This approval does not guarantee enrollment but indicates that you have met the initial criteria.

  3. Schedule Your Interview

    This is the tough part. Once conditionally approved, log in to your TTP account to schedule your Global Entry interview. You'll need to select a convenient enrollment center and appointment time. Interview locations vary, with many available at major airports and other designated sites across the country. It's essential to schedule your interview as soon as possible to secure your preferred date and time. Appointment slots fill up quickly, but Snapslot.co can help you secure a cancellation.

  4. Attend Your Interview

    Show up prepared with your passport, conditional approval letter, and other required documents.

  5. Await Final Approval

    After your interview, final approval typically arrives within a few days though some have reported months!

Preparing for your interview

Getting ready for your interview is crucial. Here's what you may need (refer to official notes for a complete list):

  • A valid passport and another form of ID (e.g., driver’s license).

  • Conditional approval letter from the Trusted Traveler Program.

  • A list of countries you’ve visited in the past five years (if asked). The agent may ask you the reason for the visit, how long you went for, etc. It’s mostly an honesty check, but be prepared to answer those questions.

  • Pro tip: Dress professionally, and be prepared to answer questions about your travel habits and purpose for applying.
